Step by step 14 steps
  1. Step 1

    Disc out of bounds, trapping flick sideline. Basic angle stack. As with any stack, the first goal is to eliminate the pick call through alignment; the second goal is proper depth; and added to this position - the third is to get the disc off the sideline. Under normal circumstances, the first cuts are the responsibility of 5 and 4 in the stack, however in order to break the trap, 1 and 6 will coordinate cuts for this example

  2. Step 2

    In an ideal world, B7 is great and can get a magical break throw off to either 1 or 6 - but a hard trap makes this a difficult prospect.

  3. Step 3

    Seen here, 1 is taking away the line, 7 is allowing only the line.

    Selling hard up the line, 1 gets the strike call and allows a momentary break in the trap.

  5. Step 5

    This allows for the goal of getting the disc off the line, but also sets up a nice break if the rest of the stack is ready.

  6. Step 6

    2-5 now need to recognize their roles and take advantage of the break side opportunity. 5 should crash the disc, but while stretching away from the force.

  7. Step 7

    With the disc on the way to 5, 4 starts the deep cut to the break side. a smart cutter holds the middle of the field and maximized the space for the thrower

    R7 isn't letting go of the trap in this example, but B1 does get a nice hard sell on his mark

  12. Step 12

    Our goal is still to get the disc off the sideline, and in part this is going to be accomplished by a strong look upfield while 1 has the disc in power position. 5 takes the under cut, 4 takes the deep. This forces the defender to get around and in front

  13. Step 13

    Handler at 7 clears, leaving 6 space to work, stack resets.

  14. Step 14

    6 and 7 now get back to work with the disc in a much better position, and the stack re-orients to a center position
